Stingray is a British children's Supermarionation television series, created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and produced by AP Films for ATV and ITC Entertainment between 1964 and 1965. Its 39 half-hour episodes were originally screened on ITV in the United Kingdom and in syndication in Canada and the United States. The scriptwriters included the Andersons, Alan Fennell, and Dennis Spooner. Barry Gray composed the music, and Derek Meddings served as special effects director. Stingray was the first Supermarionation production in which the marionette characters had interchangeable heads featuring a variety of expressions. It was also the first British television series to be filmed entirely in colour over its production run.

Stingray, a highly sophisticated combat submarine built for speed and manoeuvrability, is the flag vessel of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), a security organisation based at Marineville in the year 2065.

It is capable of speeds of up to 600 knots (1,100 km/h), while advanced pressure compensators allow it to submerge to depths of over 36,000 feet (11,000 m), enabling cruising to the bottom of any part of any of the Earth's oceans. Marineville is located somewhere in California, on the West Coast of the United States. In the case of it being under attack, battle stations is sounded and all the buildings and vehicles are sent down on hydraulic jacks into the safety of underground bunkers, protected by enormous steel and concrete shutters. The base lies 10 miles (16 km) inland, and Stingray is launched from "Pen 3" through a tunnel leading to the Pacific Ocean. The alerts "action stations", "launch stations", and "battle stations" are sounded by a rapid drum-beat that is played over Marineville's public address system.

Subject: Stingray - The Remake

Well, a little exaggeration in terming this as a re-make, but in fact 'Stingray' was made in 1962. These episodes, with an on-screen date of 1964, are a 1990s re-release of the series, with all of the original title sequences removed, and replaced with a better quality copy of the titles which was made in 1964. The only change on the 39 episodes (3 series of 13 episodes each) seems to have been to give them all this standard opening title sequence. Original episodes can be found elsewhere, identified by the copyright date of 1962. By the 1980s, the original prints issued in 1962, which were airing on ITV as late as 1987, were a bit battered and the colour was fading; so ITC went back to the negatives and struck a new set of prints for the repeats on BBC2 in the early 1990s, in the wake of the success of the BBC's repeats of 'Thunderbirds', but this new set was unfortunately given a set of standard opening titles. The original prints were generally used on ITV broadcasts throughout the 1980s, and on the VHS home video releases.
